Konferenser och symposier Arts for Health: Den 2:a nordisk-baltiska konferensen om konst i sjukhusmiljöer

Sjukhus har blivit viktiga platser för konstnärliga gestaltningar, och närvaron av konst spelar en betydande roll för hälsa och välbefinnande hos patienter, anhöriga och vårdpersonal. Det första nordisk-baltiska seminariet om konst i sjukhusmiljöer hölls den 18–20 november 2024. Detta blir det andra mötet i samma seminarieserie.

Målet med seminariet är att dela kunskap om konst i sjukhusmiljöer samt att stärka och utveckla nätverket för yrkesverksamma som arbetar i skärningspunkten mellan vård och konst i de nordiska och baltiska länderna. Seminariets språk är engelska.
